[QUOTE="bellgamin, post: 1027156, member: 56053"] You hit the nail on the head! Even though I frequently image my system to an external drive, data theft is my greatest concern. I always set my firewall up to ensure it's "default-deny" on connect-outs. That added layer of security is okay for a medium-risk user like me. However, it is far from bullet-proof. High-risk users need to take added but PITA precautions, such as encrypting sensitive files and employing extremely strict user access contols. Even so -- "There never was a cowboy that couldn't be throwed." As to "remediation" VERSUS "protection" -- I have to agree that backing up is remediation. However, as Willy Shakespeare likely would have written (if he were a member of this forum): [HEADING=2][/HEADING] [HEADING=1][/HEADING] [/QUOTE]
